Happy Summer!

It's been a super hot summer this year and everyday, you just feel like jumping into a pool. How has your summer been so far?

It's that time of year already - the "obon" holiday in Japan - which is a Buddhist holiday where we honor our ancestors. It's a long weekend where everybody goes back to their hometown and also when everybody can finally take a little break.

Summertime is a time to slow down a little and spend some quality time with family and friends.
